UNC ESOP SURVEY ON METHADONE ACCESS. Please be on the lookout for a timely survey on methadone access at community pharmacies that will be sent by Delesha Carpenter from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy on (3/7/25) to community pharmacists who are currently practicing in NC. If you do not see the survey, it may be in your “other” tab in Outlook or in your junk mail. Otherwise, you may not have received the survey because eligibility was limited to active NC pharmacists working at independent and chain pharmacies. Please email the study coordinator (Caroline Shubel: [email protected]) with any questions related to the survey.
